Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) Window
Within this display, all operating messages (function
name, mode names, etc.) are shown. When a particular
button is pressed (such as a transport command, like
PLAY), its status will be shown in the display for 1
minutes. The display will continue to show the source
function selected continuously, however.
a Function indication:
The selected source function is displayed, such as LD,
TV, etc., up to 6 characters maximum.
b Status indication:
The selected status of the present page, or other items,
is displayed, up to 9 characters maximum.
c Direct commands:
8 DIRECT commands are available in 1 page, up to 4
characters maximum.
d Battery indicator:
When the batteries are running low, this indicator will
become visible. At this point, it will not be possible to
learn any new remote codes, but normal remote control
operation is still provided (including the use of any pre-
viously learned codes). At this point, you should con-
sider changing the batteries soon. As time goes on, and
the battery power diminishes further, this indicator will
begin blinking. At this point, no remote commands will
be transmitted. This is your signal to replace the batter-
ies with fresh ones as soon as possible. Eventually, if
you ignore the blinking battery indicator and do not in-
stall fresh batteries, then the batteries may eventually
be totally exhausted, and the LCD display window will
be completely blank. However, any previously learned
commands and macros will not be erased from the mi-
croprocessor’s memory.
The RC2000MKII is supplied with a full set of RC-5
remote control codes in permanent (non-volatile)
memory. Even if the batteries are fully exhausted, the
RC-5 codes (used for Marantz A/V components) and
learned codes will never disappear.
We recommend that you use a quality brand of alkaline
batteries, for best results and longest life. Newly avail-
able lithium “AA” batteries can even provide longer life
than alkaline batteries, and are also recommended.
e Transmit indicator:
When a button is pressed, this indicator shows that an
infrared code is being transmitted.
f USE indicator:
For normal operation, the USE indicator should be vis-
ible.
g LEARN indicator:
Visible when the RC2000MKII is set to LEARN mode.
h NAME indicator:
Visible when the RC2000MKII is in the learning mode,
and function naming is being changed.
i PAGE or MACRO indicator:
This indicator usually functions in association with the
PAGE button ,, but also functions as the MACRO indi-
cator when tne MACRO button n is pressed.
j indicator:
Visible when the RC2000MKII is set the beep function.
Installing the batteries:
The battery compartment is located on the rear panel.
Please use only alkaline or lithium batteries, “AA” size.
The RC2000MKII requires four AA batteries. There are
markings in the battery compartment to show you the proper
battery orientation. If after installing the batteries, you
cannot see any indication in the LCD window when a but-
ton is pressed, re-check to ensure that the batteries are prop-
erly positioned in the compartment.
